This third-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Newman Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in the heart of Bromley. The bright reception room opens to a private balcony, creating a pleasant spot for fresh air and town-centre views. The double bedroom is a generous size and the kitchen has modern fittings, making the apartment move-in ready for an over-55s purchaser.
Practical features include a lift to the third floor, double glazing and electric storage heating. The property sits a short walk from Bromley North Station and a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants, so daily errands and social life are convenient. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Important considerations are the leasehold tenure and ongoing costs: approximately £3,000 per year service charge and £350 ground rent, with about 100 years remaining on the lease. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs. The wider area records higher crime rates, so buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their plans.
Overall this flat suits an over-55s buyer seeking a centrally located, low-upkeep home with a balcony and good transport links. It also offers straightforward rental or resale potential in a very affluent urban area, but budget for service charges and electric heating costs.
